The final resting place of the kings and queens of France. The first masterpiece of Gothic art, the church of a powerful abbey and an important place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, the cathedral basilica of Saint-Denis linked its destiny to that of royalty by becoming the burial place of the kings and queens of France.
Today, it houses over seventy sculpted tombs, including those of Dagobert, François 1er, Catherine de Médicis and Louis XVI.
